Thanks for the kind words. That's turn 7, the turn onto the back straight. I spotted it earlier on during the warmup, but I only had the 80-200 with me. I made a point of going back with the 250-600. That extra 25% makes a big difference (the image I posted isn't uncropped, but it's close to it). You can't really see the sharpness & resolution in a downsized web image, but the original image still looks pretty good (albeit with few visible JPEG artifacts on the LCD array at the rear of the car). > On Apr 18, 2004, at 8:57 PM, John Francis wrote: > > > > > After a weekend with the *ist-D I'm well pleased. > > > > Here's an image from race day: > > > > <http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/LBGP4.jpg> > > > > (1/800 @ f6.3, FA* 250-600 @ 250) > > > > The *ist-D had no problem focussing the big lens, > > and the two appear to work quite well together. > > >
